Forgiveness -- Voddie Baucham

On furlough from Zambia, Pastor Voddie Baucham joins us and speaks on the idea of forgiveness. People have a wrong definition of this word and because of that, they fail to practice what scripture commands. Living a life of forgiveness is vital for the growth of a believer.
Ephesians 4:32:
32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Voddie ate me up todayyyy!!!! This is me! I will withdraw from a person and thought I was being forgiving. You don’t have to deal with me and I don’t have to deal with you. That is NOT god like.. it’s time for me to straighten up.

[@depnewshound]

I’m right there with you. I’ve heard this message a couple of times and it convicts me for sure. Knowing and doing are two different things. Doing is difficult.

[@clairlovely128]

@@depnewshoundI extended an olive branch to someone today after listening to this sermon and got rejected. But I feel so free from the burden of unforgiveness! Like the weight was lifted from me. I will pray for all of those I have held grudges against, for our wellbeing, and leave it to God to handle! This is so nice!!!!

[@tamichildofGod8249]

A big ouch for me as well! Time to straighten up and fly right

[@Flawed_Symphony]

I love it when Voddie hurts my feelings. He is just so genuinely glorifying God that i know he is preaching the truth. Thank you, God, for grace family baptist church, and thank you, God, for your forgiveness to teach us to forgive others.

[@mrtoadslove]

Wow. I really needed to hear this. He accurately described me through and through. I’m so convicted of my own hypocrisy that I just have to throw myself on the mercy of God and reach out to those from whom I have withheld attention, affection, and honor.

[@AJohn-tr4yq]

Forgiveness means Canceling a Debt Not withholding Attention, Affection, or Honor I've been wrong my entire life I am a sinner I need forgiveness I can forgive He forgave me Thank you Father Son Holy Spirit Amen Amen🙏🙏

"People who are unforgiving toward others, always question their salvation because they think God's forgiveness is the same as theirs"--- Pst Voddie Baucham 🎉❤

[@czennie6]

That one was HARD to hear! But so true

[@zakaylasimone]

This was a very much needed message. The Holy Spirit has been convicting me greatly for a whole year about the unforgiveness in my heart. I have a very meek temperament, so I am not loud nor do I cause drama or trouble with people. However, my silence is very loud and hurtful. I too believed that staying out the way and not in close proximity and not causing drama. And blocking, deleting, never seeing or speaking to a person again was forgiveness but with ‘boundaries’. When in reality is the very opposite of Godly behavior. I almost cried listening to this because I felt deep down that I wasn’t going about a certain situation correctly, but this message confirms that I have indeed not and need to repent. I pray for the strength of Gods grace to cultivate a more compassionate and forgiving heart.

[@quentinsingleton5797]

[@randommrblue3155]

1: Forgive. Forgive others as you too, have been forgiven. 2: Repent. Of your sins daily, for we ALL fall short of the glory. 3: Receive. Jesus is thee ONLY way to our heavenly father, and he loves you. 4: Love. For God so Loved the world.... Who are you not to love, when Jesus died for you. This has been in my mind for some time now. Just thought i should share. I love you all in the name of Jesus for the Glory of God. Be blessed.

This one will hit ya right between the eye's! Another great timely Word from Brother Baucham

[@Ethan-gc7xs]

Ouch. I thought myself to be a forgiving person; and I usually would be quick to forgive and let go..if they repented and asked. But forgiving them in my heart without their acknowledgment of the wrong, I never did, and feel very convicted about. Praise God for Voddie

[@JesusistheonetrueGod]

The word is living and sctive. Hebrews 4:12-13 ESV [12] For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. [13] And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

[@randommrblue3155]

Forgiveness i followed by repentance. Repent and be save my sister. Jesus loves you.

If it wasn't for Christ Jesus, I wouldn't be who I become in Christ. I'm blessed that God allowed for my life to be placed on hold. Because my sins was taking me down, as it allowed me to be in His mercies. Not everyone will respond correctly to your apologies, for their forgiveness... but God's mercies remind you, love them regardless and have longsuffering towards those regardless. Because they're lost just like I was blind and lost, dead in sins against God.

If you claim you are a Chistian and are worried about the floods. I implore you to re-read your bible and God's covenant with Noah.

[@CH-he8pr]

I was walking down the road to get something to eat when a truck almost hit me. It was no accident, they turned down the road I was walking next to and was going straight until they noticed me and then they got as close to the line marker as possible, sped up, and swerved out of the way at the last second. They literally threatened my life just for a joke and a laugh. Im so full of anger, hatred and evil venomous rage as I type this. I am trying so hard to be forgiving. Please pray for me. I dont want to be this way anymore. Its like being in a mental prison. How do you just turn the hatred and rage off? Jesus please help me.

Thank you Pastor VODDIE, for spreading the good news , I thank you, Jesus Christ for forgiving me of my sin's , continuing to cleanse me from my filth . There's truly a problem with forgiveness in my life.I have a different perspective now that I am able to see myself and not just see the violation that was imposed by people I trusted. This knowledge and wisdom I understood not as a child , but now there's no excuses ,I must let the bitterness go and be blessed , yeah this is part of my story that I can no longer leave on the shelf I need to embrace it and pray to God for his help with this deeply embedded bitterness , that's holding me back . Please include me in your prayers. Thanks

[@khumodaly5418]

The Man just teared me up ..yoh!

[@Ponders-Infinity]

Do something nice for the person who has wronged you. Some people don't actually know how to properly forgive. They say things like "I'll forgive but I won't forget." That's not sincere. It's not authentic either. If you can bring yourself to bless your enemies then you have truly forgiven and can call yourself a Child of God. Matthew 5:43-44 says “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,..." Also James 2:14-17 says What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. Why would you do something nice like pray for your enemies if not for your faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? And yet your faith alone without works is dead. And God is God of the living. Not the dead. So i say pray for them and also give them something that costs you money and is also thoughtful and nice.

Thankyou for the lovely message.How do I handle a situation where the person maybe mishandling the WORDof GOD? Should forgive them now or until they change their actions

[@kat6206]

Voddie, John MacAurther, etc, should on TV and social media, and call each other "false teachers" TO THERE FACES! Criticize the disease, not the patient.

[@jmciver100]

I like Vodde, but I do question certain parts of the message, because some situations are a bit more opaque than others. Forgiveness is a choice you make even when your feeling haven't caught up to the choice. Forgiveness is not contingent upon works, I will say however, when a person says I never want to talk to you again to a close family member or acquaintance, that's probably unforgiveness. The reality is people still need time to heal, and that process can be different for everyone and sometimes very difficult to pinpoint. Choose to forgive and allow room for others to have the grace and space needed for reconciliation. Rom 12:18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Is repentance not necessary for us to forgive as well?

[@clonearmy77]

Maybe. But ask yourself if you can truly forgive someone else without it, or if you're just merely saying you forgave them?

[@JesusistheonetrueGod]

No.

[@Oliiinjr]

@@JesusistheonetrueGod why so?

[@JesusistheonetrueGod]

@@Oliiinjr Because God says He will not forgive your sins if you do not forgive the sins of others. Matthew 6:14-15 ESV [14] For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, [15] but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Mark 11:25-26 ESV [25-26] And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

I can see how this will become weaponized. There are some entitled prince and princesses running around unleashed. Forgive seventy times seven however keeping company or closeness to repeat offenders that do not intend to stop whatever attack via direct or passive aggressive is like playing the game kiss the cobra and expecting it not to strike. Wisdom says use discernment because sadly some are either directly or indirectly spiteful. Thats the world we are in until Christ returns, some can be trusted and got close to some youve seen the signs enough times to make a wholesome decision. Definition of insanity is like gas-lighting repeating the same things expecting a different result.

How do I forgive the woman who calls herself my ex wife in the midst of her second affair? God have mercy on us.

[@OR.Gonzal3s]

Forgive and let her go, which is what I would do. But this is advice from another sinner. Maybe go into prayer and GOD will have a different option or maybe HE'll give you the same advice. Good luck. I had an ex-wife cheat With a brother. So, I speak from that standpoint. I don't or haven't spoke to either one in over 12yrs and I don't want to kill them anymore. Baby steps ❤

Wow, I can't imagine how difficult it must be to forgive that. But absolutely not impossible. I know of marriages that have survived situations like this, God can redeem it. I pray that God heal this relationship. She must be so deeply in the bondage of sin, I can't imagine how devastating judgement would be if she passed away tomorrow.. Pray for her, her soul is covered in darkness and its evident in her choices. ❤
